November 3, 2007; Fair Hill, Maryland, USA: Over two hundred riders converged upon the Fairhill Nature Center in Elkton, Maryland Saturday for the 4th round of the BikeReg.com MABRAcross Series. The riders were treated to a swoopy, curvy, technical race course designed by course guru extraordinaire Tom McDaniel.

The race was promoted by First State Velo Sport in cooperation with the
Delaware Cyclocross Coalition of Delaware. Mother Nature played her
role delivering 50 degree temperatures, gray skies and blustery winds.
Perhaps the first true cross weather felt in the Mid Atlantic this
season. The course was a Classic Northern Delaware cyclocross course
that featured two natural barriers, a "sand pit of doom" which required
most riders to run through the tough deep sand, and lots of tight
corners.

In the Elite Men�s race, The Rite Aid Teammates of Ryan Dewald, and
Stephan Kincaid worked together against Fort Factory Team rider Greg
Wittwer. Dewald were able to escape midway through the race leaving
Kincaid to battle it out with Wittwer for the second spot on the
podium. Coming into the final turn, Wittwer and Kincad were even up,
but Kincaid was able to prevail in the sprint. Mark Kutney of Van
Dessel Cycles and Delaware Cyclocross Coalition of Delaware member
Blair Saunders (Secret Henry�s Team), had a sprint themselves to round
out the podium, with the cagey Canadian taking fourth place, as well
as and the elite master�s victory.

In the Elite Women�s race, Carolyn Popovic of Team CICLE gained an
early edge riding the sand pit of doom, where most were forced to run.
Carolyn would ply this advantage and run away with the victory. Taking
the second step on the podium was Besty Shogren of the Fort Factory
Team. Kristen Kelsey riding for Evolution Cycles (Philly) was third,
Jennifer Maxwell (Team Kenda Tire) was
fourth, and Elizabeth Harlow from Hunt Valley Cycles, won a hard fought
sprint from C3-Sollay.com�s Lisa Vible.
